Thinking of taking your little Muppet fans to the new Sesame Street Live show at Verizon Theatre this weekend, Can’t Stop Singing? You can probably get them to eat healthy snacks before and afterwards after you show them the two latest public service announcements Big Bird has done with First Lady Michelle Obama on eating fresh fruits and getting exercise.

Don’t forget to arrive at the show an hour early for the Play Zone time and to bring your camera. As I write in our Guide cover story, the Play Zone is not only a favorite with the kids, but with the performers, too. Jessica Gray, who plays the Count and a sheep, dresses up as Ernie for the Play Zone, and says she loves to see how happy the kids are up close.
